Yes, the ending wasn’t great but it didn’t ruin the fact that this is THE BEST DRAMA OF 2013. Not even HEIRS can beat this(**runs away from crazy fangirls**)LOL… much respect for Baksa for filming the last 4 episodes with his injury. Wishing him a speedy recovery..

As for me this is not the best drama of the year,for year 2013 all the drama I have watch has been disappointment,specially towards the endings. I don’t watch a drama because of the actors or the actress, I watch drama because of the story it has to tell or what kind of lesson people should learn by the things they do, for this drama the writer fail to address that.there are some articles in some websites that say that, the writer said this drama is an open ending,which mean you have to write your own conclusion of what you think the end might be.tell me that makes it the best drama of the year,well some may see the actors and actress did a good with their acts, i don’t have any problem with that,the only good and best part of this drama was when a man try to sell his child to obtain drug, that was the best part in the drama,it teaches how children can be explore to be use for prostitution, that was it, even the love story that was suppose to lure you in, still did not deliver any act of true affection from the man,I can hardly see both leads communicate with each other, there was no connection into which the male lead sympathy with female , for in which the kind of life he cant give or offer to her, she was begging to understand him but he refuses to give her that meaningful part of his life even the life he lives can’t offer security she knows that but he leave her there begging and turn his back on her,without no sympathy for her,for he been the first man she has truly love or give herself to. the other parts of the writing did not deliver any convincing story of what the writer was trying to tell the audience. it was all BS.

Very good drama but unfortunately with a sad ending. Would have been great if the hero did not have to die and the story ends with him returning to the police force and thereafter, was able to fight against crimes effectively with the experience he gathered while working as an undercover cop. Really like the ‘cool’ look of Jung Kyung Ho.

Jung shi-hyun didn’t die. Because after that he meet at the airport with Hyung Min :
HyungMin’s car, coming from far away. Parks next to a car that has already been parked.
HyungMin gets out of the car and walks toward…the door opens ShiHyun gets out of the car with one arm bandanged

HM: As you requested, Min Hong Ki died by Doctor’s Son. I’m Sorry
SH: No…Thank You.
HM: (Smiling) Lee Jin Sook, SooMin..Everyone knows that you killed him.
SH: (Hurt)
HM: Do you have to leave?
SH: If I stay…Both of them will not be able to be happy.

beside the ending this drama is the best i really love the main roll all his courage and suffering through the way its very beautfull drama
i don’t know about scenario that everyone talks about but i think he is alive because of last scene that he shows talking on the phone
but it is very good drama wroth watching ♥

the end was just great… its an open ended and that’s reasonable on the producers and writers perspective because there will be a part 2 (i assumed) just like IRIS,, the plot was superb and maybe… just maybe.. the story will goes like this… with the help of HM, SH will change identity and live abroad… and since commissioner Ji and Director MIn was discovered the next villain will be Senator Cha who happened to be running or became a president of korea and HM seek help to SH to come back and help him to stop the corruption of senator Cha and that will start the love conflict of HM and the reporter who happened to be the daughter of Senator Cha…. anticipating … hahaha 🙂

Just finished watching this drama. i love the plot and the smooth flow of the drama. every episode is full of surprise n always make me curious what will happen next. but i wish there is more interactions/love story between shi hyun & soo min and better ending. overall i think this is a good drama. worth watching 🙂

wooh, what a drama, i am so hooked until the end of it, and can’t believe that i wasn’t bored! i really love the characters in this story esp. doctors’son. The story can be realistic and the title does well for the plot to be so amazing! best action drama, better than IRIS, just saying!:-)

These K dramas nowadays just like to give viewers a sad or tragic ending. That is why Heirs rule no 1 as they have pretty boys there and it was a happy ending. The rest are all sad endings and the scriptwriters thot it is so cute to leave viewers with either an open ending or sad ending. Mark my words, You who came from the Stars will win the 2014 drama of the year cos they have a happy ending and people like aliens whose face will crack if he so much as smile as parodied in YT by a fan!
Wake up and give us happy ending dramas, sad or tragic ending dramas are so cliche and so out of the century.

Best action drama EVER!!! I got hook up and cannot leave this drama even after I watched it all. At first yes, I was devastated with the ending but after I watched it again and again, I see it! Shi Hyun is alive!!! Maybe you guys didn’t see it but the last seconds’ scene showing him standing wearing cream coat talking on the phone indicate that he is alive but not as drug lord anymore. And from Jin Sook reaction…she should have been all depressed if Shi Hyun died because she cannot live without him..and yet she still can smile…and the eiffel tower postcard? Dont you get it? I should stop now..yeah it’s an open end..so just take it as you want..but for me this drama is the BEST! And JKH is one of the hell good actor! Thumbs up!

Oooohh..I don’t even know what to say, I just finished the drama..this was just truly amazing..I couldn’t leave it, I watched it in 3 days,and I enjoyed it all along,THis was the very first time that I was sobbing while watching a drama or film or anything.. I fell in love with a lot of characters ,it was so real,so sad,so world like…Jung Kyoung-Ho!!He is so fantastic!!! The best actor I have ever seen!!! I JUST LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! The songs and EVERYTHING!! FROM MY HEART,THANK YOU ALL OF YOU!!
